What inspires you and how do you envision the design for your business?

The logo colours are set but the rest of the site can be changed - and in the case of the shopping cart and buy buttons definitely should be ;) - we also think the dark grey might be a bit too dark

Square v Rounded:

We're quite keen on a "square" look but if you think it'll work better with a "rounded" finish then that's fine

Seasonal Products:

We've got a space above the top tab navigation that can be used to promote seasonal buying reasons e.g. mothers day, christmas etc. This probably shouldn't use the whole space and doesn't have to have a border - but you can see the space available. This advert should point to the relevant tab (which will be the 4th from the left).

Top Navigation:

This should remain as a tab system. The active tab is to be the same colour as the "refine your search" bar beneath it.

Left Hand Navigation:

Please make in-keeping with design

Buy Buttons & Shopping Cart:

Please make it obvious that these are linked (i.e. by having same colour)

Product List Display:

Please remove qty increase/decrease. Dimensions of image to be determined by you. Layout of products to be determined by you. 4 per row looks nice but you decide.

Info Under Product List:

This is the SEO text area - please make it look nice and relevant (not just blatent SEO text) - would like to incorporate an image or two to make it look more interesting.

Bottom Nav:

We're pretty happy with this but if you think it could be better or more in-keeping with your design then great.

Future Work:

The winner of this contest will get a further $300 for the layout of the homepage and a specific product page (subject to satisfactory quality of course).

Wants

- your best interpretation of the layout provided. - feel free to stray from the layout if you really think it will help - but bare in mind that we're pretty happy with it as it is.
- Input on colours and "tieing the whole thing toether" is what we're really looking for

Don't want

- anything that strays far too far from the original layout - you'll probably be wasting your time
